To Nourish Our Self

How do you nourish yourself? What do you give yourself "Full Throttle Permission" to experience? If you're comfortable sharing, please do.

For me, this is one of my most favorite places to be. It is the hearth and fire created at the home of two people who are very special to me. Creating fires is a very sacred ritual for me to slow down, take my time gathering the materials, and gently igniting the smaller pieces of kindling and dried grasses or leaves... watching them light each other enlivens me. Then, as the fire grows, I feel a sense of deep accomplishment. Next to the fresh smell of a horse in from the pasture, wood smoke is my favorite smell. It fills my senses and brings me right into the most primal of places that stir my soul.
